21 Day Body Reset Plan: Complete!

As you guys know from my Instagram stories,forthe past three weeks, I have been doing a body reset plan created by Mimi Bouchard. Mimi is a transformational specialistwhohas transformed her own body and always postsabout positivity and motivation (which you know I love too).SoI was beyond excited when she gifted me the plan so I could share my journey with you.

What’sThePlan?

High protein, highfibre, low carb&moderatefat. The plan includes a 5 min ab workout and 10k stepseveryday. It includes meal ideas, what to avoid and what to enjoy as well as keeping you motivated along the way. Its super easy to read and myfavouritepart about the plan is the secret Facebook group that Mimi has started for us all to connectandshare recipes.Itslike a motivational support group; it’s amazing!

Food

For me I struggled more with the food side than the exercise side of things. The first couple of days my energy levels were all over the place due to not eating carbs anymore and not having any refined sugar. This is completely normal though, if you started eating completely differently and working out more you would. However, once I got over that initial hurdle I felt SO GOOD. It completely changed mymentalitytothe way I look at what I’m eatingandseeingit as FUEL. Once I adapted to the plan and foundrecipesto make that werefufillliing,I felt AMAZING.

Exercise

The5 minuteab workout was myfavouritethingabout the plan. Forever lying on the floor thinking what exercise should I do to work this muscle and ending up just scrolling on Instagram for half an hour. The workout is SO QUICKwithhigh intensity so you feel amazing for it. 10k steps was easier for me too as I am always walking everywhere in Oxford. It’s actually so good for toning the body and using all your muscles; honestly walking is so underrated! Especially the mental benefits, walking through a park, listening to yourfavouritesongs or a podcast can be so much fun!

What I Learnt?

The BIGGEST thing I learnt during the plan was how much I was overeating without evenrealising. By reducing my portionsizesI felt so much better. Feeling full is not apleasantfeeling, you feel superlethargic and it isn’t great for body confidence either. (Ever been to a lovely restaurant ate way too much that when you get up your stomach is so bloated your buttons on your jeans start popping?! Yeah me too!) Also, my energy levels were so much better.I read in a book about Japanese culture called Ikigai that they eat until they are 80% full and I think it isa really interesting topic; because from eating to 80%-100% fullness I felt so much better.

I also learnt that my body really bloats when I eat food with gluten in it. Now that I have finished the plan I am 100% going to apply some of the aspects of the plan into daily life. Particularly the ab workout and 10k stepsbecause I felt amazing forit ,I have never felt so healthy and strong and actually hadtonedmy stomach! I also am going to keep to portion sizes, andminimisethe amount of gluten I eat. Maybe 2/3 a week eating bigger carbs like pasta, rice but when I can,eating a gluten free alternative or just sticking tomeatwithsalad/veg.

Best Thing AboutThePlan?

The best thing I have found from the plan is deliciousrecipies. I have created a few myselffoundsomeamazingonesonline, it’s been really fun getting inventive in the kitchen. The plan is not a typical diet, it isa change of lifestyle. I have learnt so much about my bodywhilstdoing this and feel so much better for it.
